In the first instance, no problem--with the provision that if the music
has a notation that the right to perform for profit is reserved, you
should not charge for entrance to the performance.

The second--again, no problem, with the same provisio.

The third is a copyright violation. The actual copying is the culprit.
If you violate a public performance reservation, you will have committed
2 violations.

Here's another copyright-related question. Let's say that a friend and I
purchase a book of duets for clarinet.

1. We buy two copies of the book to play the music on separate music
stands.

2. We both read off the book's pages on a single music stand to play the
music
publicly.

3. We make one photocopy for the convenience of playing the music
together
publicly but using two music stands.

What's your take on these scenarios?
